The queen is a little cowardly

Empress Qin committed suicide, the palace officials dared not publicize it, and the funeral was even more hasty, and the ladies in twos and threes outside the palace seemed listless.

After Shi Sheng came, the palace servants who served the queen were already crying and telling what happened last night.Shi Sheng was not in the mood to listen, so Danqing took good care of him and entered the mourning hall with Yan Ru.

Shi Sheng felt guilty, and couldn't lift his head when he saw Queen Qin's spirit seat, and sighed: "I didn't expect her temper to be so strong."

"Shi Sheng, everyone's fate is fixed, and her death has nothing to do with you. People die every day in this palace, and the one who died last night was the queen." Yan Ru calmly approached this waiting girl from her time. In a country with strict authority, it took her more than ten years from being uncomfortable to being calm today.

Empress Qin committed suicide, she gave up her life, who is to blame?

Shi Sheng smiled bitterly, "Yan Ru, how are you doing?"

"I'm fine. If you come here, you'll be safe. Shi Sheng, give up. Zhao Dan is perfect. He looks ruthless, but he never forgets your expression." Yan Ru looked deeply at the girl in front of her, her lacquer eyes stained a little. smile.She doesn't belong here and is destined to be forgotten.

Love is also letting go.

Shi Sheng raised his eyes and looked at her in disbelief, "I didn't give up on you, why did you give up on me?"

Yan Ru lowered her eyes, avoiding the probing in Shi Sheng's eyes.

The ceremonial officer came back here, Yan Ru left in a hurry after worshiping, and Shi Sheng stayed in the central palace to deal with the follow-up matters.

The queen's new funeral, the mausoleum and the title need to be arranged, Zhao Dan is seriously ill, these things all fall on the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites drew up several titles and sent them to Changle Palace. Shi Sheng took a rough look and chose the characters of respect and filial piety.

After the funeral, the queen's coffin was sent to the imperial mausoleum, and Zhao Dan gradually recovered and began to take over the government in an orderly manner.

At this time, the proton entered Beijing.Zhao Dan allocated a palace for him to live in. Shi Sheng met him once at a banquet, and he was indeed a beautiful man.

As the weather gets hotter, the time for getting married is coming, Zhao Dan is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, Shi Sheng has a leisurely time, and makes people set up a stage to sing, and he listens to several books every day.

On the day when Yan Ru left, Shi Sheng called out the Weaver Girl Meeting, and the Cowherd and Weaver Girl met all over the world.

Danqing's blood boiled with excitement and tears kept flowing, Shi Sheng laughed at her, "It's just a play, and it's not true."

"The Queen Mother made fun of her servants, don't you find it touching? We only see each other once a year, and lovers can't get along day and night. What a torture." Dan Qing wiped his tears, still unable to let go.

Shi Sheng leaned on the armchair, sipping fruit tea, her eyes were a little distracted, but soon, she drank the fruit tea in one gulp, and said with relief: "That's because they have no ability to fight against Quan, so Aijia will No. No one will make Aijia happy, and Aijia will not make him happy."

After all, Danqing was a court lady, so she didn't dare to answer the empress dowager's outrageous words, she just continued to wipe away her tears.

After the opera ended, Shi Sheng rewarded the actor, and he returned to the palace accompanied by Danqing.

Today, Zhao Dan came, unlike in the past, Zhao Dan was very happy, he seemed to be drinking, and looked at Shi Sheng with infatuation.

Shi Sheng glared at him, and ate his snacks on his own, Danqing and others all backed out.

"Why doesn't the Empress Dowager go see Miss Yan off today?"

"You care too much. You don't feel sad when the queen dies. You still care about others. Why the queen died, you know better than me." Shi Sheng turned sideways and didn't want to look at Zhao Dan.

Zhao Dan chuckled, "The queen's thinking is too simple, and I can't restrain her. Ai Rong after death, the glory of the Qin family, I will give everything I can."

"What are you doing here?" Shi Sheng didn't want to argue with him anymore.

"I came to see the queen mother, why is the queen mother not sad?" Zhao Dan stared into Shi Sheng's eyes, and suddenly found that the other party was very calm, not sad, not even angry.

Shi Sheng held his chin, "The Ai family personally bestowed the marriage, why should you be sad? Even if the Ai family doesn't like Yan Ru, they won't agree to be with you. Even if all the men in the world are dead, I won't take another look at you .”

Zhao Dan was said to be depressed, but he was not angry, but stood up calmly, "The queen mother is not happy, so I won't stay any longer, and I hope you take care of yourself."

Shi Sheng glanced at him, and ordered people to close the palace gate after Zhao Dan left.

It was dusk, the wedding car stopped at the post house, and Yan Ru walked down with the help of the maid. The post house had already been arranged, and she could just move in.

Stay overnight in the posthouse, and continue the journey the next morning.

Shangjing is a long way from Xiliang, and it took Proton a month's journey to get to Shangjing. According to the way the wedding car travels, it will take more than a month.

Yan Ru took off her wedding dress and only wore ordinary clothes, and she changed into her wedding dress when she arrived in Xiliang.

I stopped and walked all the way, and when it rained, I would stop for a few days. When I got to the border, I found that I had walked for nearly two months.

The border town between Xiliang and the Great Wei was a desolate place, the land was barren, and even water was a rarity.

The procession to see off relatives stopped in the border town, and it became difficult for everyone to take a bath, let alone the daily water requirement.

Yan Ru ordered people to dig a well underground, but Xiliang didn't send anyone to welcome the team for a long time. Three days after the well was opened, a young man came.

The young man led people to open the well, and it took five days to produce a well of water. Yan Ru was surprised and went to see it himself, but saw a familiar person.

It's Yan Jing.

Yan Jing has grown very tall, half a head taller than Yan Ru. When he saw his sister, he smiled, "I knew that my sister came back, and I found the most suitable place to open a well in advance. My sister came here. I'm happy too."

"How did you know I would come?" Yan Ru was surprised and moved, and led her younger brother into the house.

Yan Jing smiled shyly, "Half a month ago, a wedding party passed by. I haven't seen you, so I guess you're coming soon."

"Has the marriage team passed by?" Yan Ru stopped suddenly.

Yan Jing smiled lightly and remained silent.

On the birthday of the Empress Dowager, the emperor pardoned the world and set up porridge sheds in Shangjing to help the poor.

In the evening, fireworks were set off, and the whole city of Shangjing was lit up in an instant.

Zhao Dan was drunk by the two prime ministers, and struggled to come to Changle Palace, but Shi Sheng didn't drive him away, but asked someone to cook sober soup.

Zhao Dan's eyes were blurred, and he looked at the girl across from him bewilderedly, "A Sheng, I can have you now."

Shi Sheng sneered, but he didn't wake him up, he just said: "Your Majesty, let's drink some hangover soup."

"A Sheng, we have a lot of time, so we can take our time." Zhao Dan smiled like a child, but there was no light in Shi Sheng's eyes, only indifference.She stood up and called Danqing, "Your Majesty is drunk, go and serve him."

Danqing glanced at the emperor, carefully helped him to rest in the hall.

Shi Sheng sat alone in the hall, and the palace people came in and out, bringing sober soup and hot water.

Suddenly, she stood up and walked out. Danqing was at a loss and followed subconsciously.

Shi Sheng stopped, "Danqing, if you continue to follow, you will destroy yourself."

Danqing was dazed, the Queen Mother's back in the dark night showed loneliness, she swallowed, "I will not regret following the Queen Mother."

"Then you follow." Shi Sheng smiled softly, and lifted his foot to leave Changle Palace.

Zhao Dan was hangover, and when she woke up, the morning court was already delayed, she slowly straightened up, and the palace maid immediately came to serve her.

"Ling Taohe come." Zhao Dan didn't like being touched by other people, so he took it for granted that he wanted to find Taohe.

The maid nodded and said in a low voice: "The Empress Dowager dreamed about the late emperor last night, and went to the imperial mausoleum this morning."

"Xiandi, Huangling..." Zhao Dan woke up suddenly, stood up and walked towards her. After taking two steps, her legs were weak and her body swayed. The palace servant rushed over to hug her.

Zhao Dan reacted quickly, "Hurry up, summon the time phase, call the time phase."

The palace people did not dare to disobey, and quickly asked people to find the time.

Shi Wei was dragged in by the servant, Zhao Dan had already changed his clothes, she grabbed Shi Wei, "Where's Shi Sheng?"

"She, she's in the palace..." Shi Wei was dizzy by Zhao Dan's shaking, and seeing Zhao Dan turned into two shadows, he pushed him away, "Your Majesty, I'm dizzy."

Zhao Dan was very angry, "She left and said to go to the imperial mausoleum, Shi Wei, if she doesn't come back, I will accuse your family of Shi family."

"Ask the crime?" Shi Wei laughed angrily, and was not afraid of Zhao Dan's madness. Instead, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, you can try it. It is only natural for the Queen Mother to go to the imperial mausoleum. Why are you so crazy? Brother and wife? ?Your Majesty, I have read poems and books well, and I know shame. If you offend me by doing something like this, I can tell the world. Shi Wei is a minister, but he is also a man of etiquette."

Zhao Dan let go of his hand suddenly, "You have plotted against me and Shi Wei, and I have treated you well."

"What kind of calculations are you planning? You have lost the queen mother. Where can I find it?" Shi Wei straightened his robes and gave the emperor a cold look, what the hell.

Shi Wei also lost his temper because of the quarrel, "Go find it quickly if you lose it, I won't be with Your Majesty anymore."

Zhao Dan was so weak that he fell to the ground, covering his face and crying.

The border town was windy and sandy, and it didn't rain all year round. Yan Jing led his men to dig two wells and then left. Before leaving, he left a sum of money for Yan Ru.

There are not many people in the border town, there are less than a thousand people in the huge city, and there are only 2000 people including the defenders.The desolation and war caused the people to leave here one after another. As an outsider, Yan Ru couldn't adapt to the life here.

In autumn, when the crops are harvested, I take the opportunity to buy some rice grains, and after a while, the days will adapt.

Yan Jing sent a letter one month after he left, saying that he would be back in winter.Yan Ru didn't believe him, so he burned the letter and lived by himself.

The temperature difference between morning and evening in the border town is huge, and it will be extremely hot at noon, and the clothes worn by the people are also different from those in the capital city. Yan Ru learned to make two sets of clothes, thinking that he would make the jacket earlier so that he would not be so sad in winter.

Unexpectedly, just halfway through, someone knocked on the door outside.

She hurriedly put down her coat and walked outside, when she heard the sound of firecrackers, "Who is it?"

The door was bolted from the inside, so she had to put down the bolt first, and the door was pushed open just as the gap opened.

"Miss Yan, today is an auspicious day for marriage, are you getting married?" Shi Sheng stood at the door wearing a red dress, holding a beautiful bouquet of peonies in his hands.

Yan Jing stood behind her and made faces at her sister.Yan Ru suddenly understood, the next moment, Shi Sheng stuffed the flower into her hand, and slammed the door shut.

The two looked at each other, and Yan Jing called out from outside the door, "Open the door, open the door, marriage is to be witnessed."

Danqing covered his mouth, "Don't talk, just listen."

"Listen to what?"

"Listen to the sound of their kisses."

"Does the kiss make a sound?"

"Have……"

Yan Ru smiled, Shi Sheng looked at her, "We are free."

In the next moment, Yan Ru dropped the flowers and hugged her, the corners of his lips were pressed together, like a hot spring flowing through a dry field.

"Kiss seems to have no sound..."

"It doesn't seem to be, I didn't hear it anyway."

"Then is there or not?"
